Eddie goes Best of Breed at the National Dog Show

What a great day for 'Eddie' and Moira at their first Championship Show yesterday. The National Dog Show now held at the Staffs County Showground gave us classes again for the first time in quite a few years. Our judge on the day was Mrs Ann Arch who is no stranger to our breed.

Ann found her Best Dog and Best of Breed in Asalet Amir known by us all as Eddie.

Well done to both who today enjoyed their first lie-in since Eddie's arrival. 10:00 a.m. they were both whacked.

Our own Ullikumis of Asalet got Best Bitch and Best Opposite Sex on the day.

Asalet Bal was awarded Best Puppy in Breed although I have to say she really wasn't on her best behaviour as she exhibited a great deal of nervousness so much so she even snapped so we have some work to do with her as this is not acceptable behaviour for our dogs and not good for Anatolians generally. At home she is of the most wonderful personality and very affectionate and actually quite cocky. Luckily, Ann as a very experienced judge saw through this.
